Against Texas State, per Brett McMurphy’s latest bowl predictions

If the Gophers beat WI next week would you call it a successful season after beating Iowa and Nebraska in the same year also? Fleck was brought here to defeat these programs and if we beat WI next week it will be the first time we have the Pig and Axe in the same season since 1991. We would be 6-6 and going to some lower tier bowl, does a bowl victory matter?

Throw out some score predictions before today's game as well. I'm going Ohio State 45, Minnesota 21

Recap of Saturday's 37-3 loss at Ohio State

Long Beach State defeats Michigan in Ann Arbor, 94-86

I have been one of few here who was optimistic going into this season. I felt that the NIT was the expectation. And thus far my optimism has been warranted. Sure the guys stunk it up the last 10 minutes against Mizzou but have been solid up to that point. Lots of very exciting stuff going on.

The guys will learn from the meltdown and keep on improving. If they can play like they did for 30 minutes against Mizzou then a NCAA bid is a possibility.

Excited to watch them again today. Will the guys come out with confidence or show some hangover? UPSC has some decent players so we need to get back on track.

Gophers get a much needed W by 18.

The article Souhan wrote today in the Star Tribune is the WORST article I have ever read by a sports journalist:
1) The vast majority of the words Souhan writes in his article are about other head coaches in Minnesota. One would think that due to these head coaches Minnesota sports fans have relished winning Super Bowls, World Series Championships, NBA titles and more.
2) Souhan writes 7 paragraphs in his entire article about PJ Fleck. The first one is the only “kind of positive” paragraph. It’s about the successful 2019 season, but, he even then, he negates any positivity by ending the paragraph with “Those Victories elevated expectations. He has not met them.”
3) Souhan writes 2 paragraphs about the 2022 season. The Gophers won 9 games and won their bowl game. But, that wasn’t a good season in Souhan’s eyes.
4) Now Souhan is down to basically 4 negative paragraphs about PJ Fleck. One mediocre season and the “sky is falling” for the Gopher football program. Guess that’s why Souhan could only come up with 4 negative paragraphs.
5) Prior to this season, PJ Fleck’s .614 winning percentage was the 3rd best among the 11 Minnesota head coaches with at least 45 games under their helm behind only Henry Williams and Bernie Bierman. PJ Fleck and Henry Williams are the only two Gopher head football coaches in history to record nine or more wins in a seasons twice. Fleck’s 11 wins in 2019 were the most for a Gopher football team since Williams 13 win season in 1904.
6) Prior to this season, PJ Fleck has averaged more wins per season compared to any Gopher head football coach in history (not including the shortened pandemic season) and that number is 8 wins per season.
7) Sorry, Mr. Souhan, but, you just wrote the worst article ever written in the history of sports journalism.
